does the 270 or the 30-06 do anything better than the other?


Yes..The .270 shoots smaller bullets better than the '06 but the '06 shoots heavier bullets better than the .270.I have both now but the far majority of game I have shot here in Idaho has been with a 130 grain bullet out of the .270 Win.

I have seen people down size in the '06 to match 270 performance and fail miserably compared too, and in another sense,I believe 160's are to much for the 270 where 165 and especially,180's are the cats neow for the '06.

Either of them make a great all around Idaho caliber.
